About this episode
Ready for a dose of creativity, inspiration, and a dash of upcycling magic? But wait, what's upcycling, you ask? It's all about taking ordinary, everyday materials and transforming them into exquisite handmade books and art. Our special guest, Bel Mills, is a remarkable book artist and an inspiring teacher who has crafted an incredible online class centered on the art of upcycling books. Bel's passion for creating bespoke, one-of-a-kind books from salvaged paper is truly inspiring. We'll also dive into the power of getting out of your own way and focusing on what truly matters: your audience and the value you can bring to their lives. "When it's time to go and sell, when it's time to go and share our work and share our message, we have to reflect on the sacred aspects of our soul."- Miriam Schulman In this podcast, you'll discover… Not to underestimate the creative potential of everyday objects; upcycling can breathe new life into them. When creating and sharing your art or knowledge, focus on how it can positively impact your audience rather than dwelling on your insecurities. You can overcome obstacles and find support in your creative journey by seeking guidance, connecting with like-minded individuals, and collaborating to grow as an artist or educator. "Remember that it isn't about you. And if you can, kind of get out of your own way, get the help that you need, and focus on the folks out there who stand to gain so much from your work and what you have to offer."- Bel Mills For full show notes, go to schulmanart.com/277 . ++++++++++++++++++++ 🎉FREE GOODIES!🎉 Don't forget to check out the Inspiration Place goodie bag.
